Social Studies teacher Dave Jacoby knew of Sohayle’s interest in reading and showed him that the old books at his high school were going to waste — laying unused in storage closets or getting thrown out. Sohayle began finding the books a home and with the incredible help of Madame Kohl, he was able to donate thousands of books to schools in urban Philadelphia. Sohayle’s initiation of book drives continued when his younger sister, Hediya Sizar, now former Executive Director of the Foundation, entered high school and ran the organization throughout college. Together, brother and sister took their passion of storytelling and reading by spreading it to other high schools and college campuses. In 2012, Bring on the Books became an official non-profit and raised over 95,000 books at local high school and college campuses. Today, Bring on the Books continues as a student-run organization that aims to tackles the access-to-books gap across the U.S. https://www.bringonthebooks.org/home daily 1.0 2023-07-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61426f28f1925f070e28d910/1631743789483-NRJZOVLOHWSNC6TY0QG0/18192408_1373680036046097_8508706656281732176_o.jpg Home - Our Mission Bring on the Books aims to reroute gently-used books by connecting people who have books to those who have limited access to them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61426f28f1925f070e28d910/1631743789487-YPP80V7X6N7AVL2JOVOG/Screen+Shot+2021-08-12+at+6.57.15+PM.png Home - Problem 2/3 of low-income American families have limited access to books for their children, creating an a gap between high and low-income families. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61426f28f1925f070e28d910/1631743789491-1J5VGYBI5NIZA21R5D2J/10917284_846082745472498_5653364326824638476_n.jpg Home - Solution BOB reroutes gently-used or new books by directly connecting people to their nearest local organizations, schools, and nonprofits. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61426f28f1925f070e28d910/1631743789510-TP2I7YY256DLD0FQ1S4R/bw_NYU_Logo-1%403x.cab54a1c.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61426f28f1925f070e28d910/1631743789515-5FMFPSVYWL8J97VZDFPJ/bw_Deloitte_Logo%403x.d7a3017d.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61426f28f1925f070e28d910/1631743789520-FYNJNC6B0UUSJ5LA54CI/1200px-RitzCarlton.svg%403x.1d63c036.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61426f28f1925f070e28d910/1631743789530-RCA8ACVPE9JS6JLZQT1O/bw_3u-georgetown-university-logo-600x200-1%403x.199a17d6.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61426f28f1925f070e28d910/1631743789535-3RG2N7M7HH5V35U2E2VI/bw_fjd-seal250%403x.7f33ceb2.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61426f28f1925f070e28d910/1631743789540-N7PUQL2UW3G0KNI7RF71/IMG_2912.JPG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61426f28f1925f070e28d910/1631743789544-SU6IM4SANNR0SUIMBSTP/IMG_8254.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61426f28f1925f070e28d910/1631743789548-DSHXQ7F4Y41TG2EL13IS/image_6483441.JPG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61426f28f1925f070e28d910/1631743789552-71Z1QQ05DZ2E74XXWJ5V/IMG_4361.jpg Home https://www.bringonthebooks.org/donate daily 0.75 2024-12-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61426f28f1925f070e28d910/55527452-1f10-4781-b7ff-6b7d2e1ca8ee/331221_396140213800089_1921277924_o.jpeg Donate
